Editor-Tested 2 in 1 pushchairs in 1 Travel System Pram

The most efficient 2 in 1, travel system prams let you easily switch your baby between a car and a stroller. These sets are editor-tested and approved. They come with an infant seat that snaps onto the matching stroller frame for an easy ride.

Note that these car seats only work with rear-facing infant car seats (not extended-use car seats, that are designed to be used in the car). The weight and age restrictions differ by product.

Car Seat

A 2 in 1 travel system pram comes with car seats that can be clicked into the stroller. It can also be transformed into a carrycot. This is a one-stop shop for your baby's first years. These prams cost more than standard strollers, but the ease of transferring your baby from the car to the stroller safely and without disturbing them makes it worth the extra price.

The UPPAbaby car and pram combination provides a modern take on the traditional pram. It is a favorite by parents. The Vista stroller glides easily and the Mesa car seat is able to be clipped to your car using UPPAbaby's Smart Secure LATCH System, making it easier to install than other models. The stroller can be used in carriage mode or as an infant bassinet. You can also switch the direction of your seat from forward-facing to rear-facing depending on your preference.

The Graco LiteMax combo infant car seat and stroller is another highly rated product for parents who are new. It can be transformed into a rolling stroller or bassinet, and the reclining seat can be positioned to face your child in either direction, based on their preference. It's simple to use and is a great option if you plan on buying an additional car seat for older siblings because it can accommodate two seats.

There are other options available. A lot of 2 in 1 travel systems come with an infant stroller as well as a car seat that can be used right from the time of birth. However, many of these car seats are not compatible with all strollers. It is essential to select the right product that is compatible with your car model and can be set up safely. Visit the Consumer Products Safety Commission's website and manufacturer's guidelines for recalls. You can also contact your insurance company to see whether they provide roadside assistance if you need help with an installation or other problem.

Carrycot

A carrycot is a compact, portable cot that attaches to the frame of a pram, allowing babies to sleep comfortably when traveling. It is a great option to use from birth until your baby is able sit up without assistance, which is typically around six months. A carrycot can be used as an alternative to a crib or a moses basket. It can also be used as a bed for travel when you are away from home. The carrycot of a 2 in 1 travel system pram is typically large and flat. It supports your baby's natural position for sleep and promotes healthy growth. Some of our carrycots, like the didofy Stargazer are suitable for overnight sleeping and can be easily folded and stored when not being used.

The majority of 3 in 1 combination prams pair a pushchair and the option of a car seat or a carrycot, allowing you to choose the most suitable mode of transport for your trip. They are generally heavier than their 2 in 1 counterparts, and could be preferred by parents who prefer the traditional pram style look. These models often offer the option of removing the pushchair, so they can be used as strollers that are lightweight once your child is old enough to sit up straight and look at you.

2 in 1 travel system prams with carrycots typically have a lightweight chassis that folds flat, making them smaller and easier to fit into smaller cars. They also come with a range of features that make them more practical, such as large shopping baskets and rain covers.

Check that the 2 in 1 travel system (tupalo.com) that includes the carrycot you are thinking of is suitable and meets the latest European safety standard. Check, for example, that the carrycot you are purchasing is compliant to the new standard EN1466-2023. This replaces EN0+:2014+AC:2015 and will become obligatory in June 2024. Check for accessories for the carrycot like weather shields and footmuffs. There are also parent and child trays.

Stroller

A stroller is ideal if your baby is already capable of sitting in an infant car seat and is able to start walking independently. Strollers are easy to fold and compact, and usually fit in the trunk of a car. They have ample storage space to accommodate all your baby's needs. They also offer an enjoyable ride for your child even on rough terrain. Some strollers come with a huge bassinet that can be used for napping on the move. The most reliable strollers come with the most recent safety features, such as 5-point harnesses. They are an excellent choice for those who are new parents.

A lot of modern strollers and prams come with adaptors that make it possible to snap a car capsule into the chassis, allowing you to move your sleepy baby pram 2 in 1 from car to stroller without disrupting them. This is an excellent feature for parents who are always on the move. It lets them do essential errands and not needing to disturb their child. This is best illustrated by the Doona travel system, a lightweight stroller which can be converted into a carrycot or a group child seat for 0+.

They are simple to carry and can hold a lot of luggage. They're heavy and difficult to transport, and they can be difficult to fit in a small car trunk or taxi. However, their ease of use and space make them perfect for long walks.

The newest 3 in 1 prams come with a more modern and sophisticated design. They come with a frame that folds up like an umbrella, as well as a portable baby seat or carrycot. They can be used from birth and are less bulky than traditional strollers. The carrycot can be converted into a seat facing your child's back that reclines when they're ready. Our choice includes the Kinderkraft Juli, which is a great option that comes with a infant car seat and carryingcot as well as the pushchair.

Accessories

A pramette is a smaller version of a pram. It is perfect for trains that are packed or when you don't have enough space in your home to store a large stroller. Some of these can be converted into pushchairs which means that your baby can sleep flat from birth. Others can be transformed into a travel system by adding the car seat. Some of the brands that sell these include Hauck, Kinderkraft and Venicci.

A 3-in-1 travel bundle includes a pushchair, carrycot and car seat. This is the most convenient way to travel. Click the car seat into the frame of the pushchair and your baby will have a peaceful, relaxing trip from the moment of birth. Once your baby is old enough, you can turn the pram into a stroller and give a modern twist on the traditional design. This is beautifully illustrated by the Ickle Bubba Juli 2in1 travel system System. It comes complete with a Carrycot and Infant car seat, which is suitable for use from birth.
